Playoffs anyone?

Ladies and Gentlemen...... Your Chicago White Sox will go to the playoffs this year and from there who knows what can happen.

Congratulations White Sox! now bring us back another World Series title.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

This is just to important to talk around but I am just amazed at how my fellow citizens can ignore reality and buy into all the hype. Is it that we are afraid of the "boogey man" or is it the other thing you know the thing we will not discuss because its not "PC".

Well thats it if we can't see past all the crap its a sad day to call yourself an American, I mean are we safer with Russian bombers stationed in Venezuela? Is are hard earned money working for us when banks are collapsing? Are we better off with a weaker dollar? and of course all the CEO's are making off with huge pay days so at least we can rest assured that even though Mr. McCain can't remember how many houses he has at least he can relate with that upper 2% that so badly need those tax breaks that the other 98% will never see.

Oh fuck it, where did I get the idea that we are all supposed to be equal in this country. Maybe I should just lower my ideal by all means why should we the people of this country stand in the way of these "great Americans".

Thats it, now I will get back to work after all I still have my dream and its only going to as well as I make it go.

I hope that some you have been able to go over to SCC to take a look at the exhibit that I have hanging. I have been invited to participate in a great exhibit in Carbondale, IL so more and more the work I am doing is being accepted so that feels great I know theres a whole lot of work still to be done but never the less its always gives you a boost to be included.

Thats enough for today for now I hope we can take a dose of reality and see through this hype.

Here We Go!

Well here we are summer is gone (once again) and the time has come to start the shame less promotion. The summer has been really good to me it has presented a lot of opportunity I have been very fortunate to be included in some great exhibits as well as receiving some important commissions. With all that said the beat goes on and there's a ton of work to be done I am continuing the 150 paintings for the open studio reception and I'm working on a proposal for an important commission, so here we go.

Some of the things I have accomplished this summer, mural for "Barrington" nursery, exhibit at OP Gallery for Latin American Art Fair (21 pieces), exhibit at Loyola University "Immigration Through Art " (3 pieces) and of course designing and producing a 11' X 32' mural at a CPS. Thats just a few things I did this past summer.

Here is a pic from the 150 new pieces I am creating for the October 24th reception at the Studio so I hope you all enjoy it.

Trying to Understand the ego

Why is it that people don't understand that there is enough for all of us, why do we insist on being so selfish that we grab as much as possible and try to hold on tight so that none of anything ever gets away... scarcity mentality its a killer disease.

Well thats enough of that, it has been a very eventful two weeks. My mural at Columbia Explorer School is going very well and I just took a great trip with a group of fabulous art collectors
to Atlanta, USA and let me tell you I now know the meaning of "Southern Hospitality" everyone
we met was so welcoming and accepting of not only of me but of the whole group.

I have also been invited to exhibit at the South Suburban Community College in South Holland, IL. (a solo exhibit) That'll be great for exposure. The paintings in the studio are moving along nicely and the portraits are moving forward.

I don't know what else to go on about, at this point there is so much to write about my brain can't focus to let it all out. So enjoy the pic and keep tuning in sooner or later I'll be consistently writing.

Comet Hale-bopp 1995-2008

Comet Hale-Bopp, Born 1995 and lived life as free and careless as a canine could. He passed away on the 29th of June 2008 and is survived by his two humans DLT and Pando.

Comet will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him. The time he spent with his humans was brief but very eventful I could write endless stories of his adventures and endless charisma but I feel that is best left to legend.

So good bye Mr. Hale-bopp, no more will you wiggle away as DLT applies "the claw" on you as you playfully wrestle but perhaps we will meet again.

Here we go again

Well its June and it feels like summer, all I know is that I have a full plate in front of me.

First I am Making good progress on my mural but it feels like it needs about two more months of work.

Second the portraits are getting done and I am very happy with the progress so thats a good thing.

And of course my plans for producing 150 paintings for the October event well for that I am thinking of creating a large piece and cutting it up into 150 pieces, They're going slow.

For the last couple of weeks I have been spending a lot of time doing paper work and there's more of that coming up.

Yes its me again and let me tell you I am appalled at the fact that I have a competitor advertising on my BLOG spot but then I looked at their site and no worries they can'tcompete with my work.


Now that that's been said on to my plans for October the whole concept of 150 for 150 has
been receiving a very interesting reaction. This weekend spoke to a whole bunch of people
about it and the concept of cultivating a whole new group of collectors is very exciting.


I am participating in a group exhibit at the Crown Center Gallery in Loyola university which
opens this Saturday so if anybody would like to join us we will be attending the reception
with Niece who just had the traumatic experience of graduating from the 8th grade.

got to go lots of painting to be done at the studio.
